Parade Artists Spring Show

As some of you will know, I am part of an organisation in the building that is currently called Parade Artists. We are about to have our Spring Show. If any of you are in the area, please come along. There will be self-portrait and mask making sections as well as the show proper.

In addition, one of my pieces made it onto the invitation, which I now extend to you.





Any of you who are in Glasgow on these days are welcome to come and make yourself known. I hope to see some of you. In any case, have a look at the variety of talented artists who are part of the Parade Artists organisation.

It is possible to survive without a computer

My apologies for my two month absence. My relatively new computer (nine months old) died on me and has only returned in operating condition to me today.

I have not been entirely without internet access, but it has been limited to short excursions to get and reply to essential e-mails. I don't suppose this two month period will be sufficient to change my habits, but I did get a lot more reading done, more walks in the woods, more conversations with my wife and friends. I should take it as an instruction to limit my use of the internet to the priority areas, of which this is one.

I am back and will make efforts to fill in the gap and keep people up to date.

Un-Named

This piece began as a simple spiral of shapes and transformed itself into something else. It is ambigous. At one time it suggests one thing to me and at others, something else. I am reluctant to give it a title, as that will direct the viewer toward a single way of viewing it. So it remains:
